    Carlos Torres... We got him! On a minor league deal. Gardy couldn't mold him in Detroit AAA... All he needs is a little Wes Johnson magic! https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/06/twins-sign-carlos-torres.html

    From the article I posted: "According to the Department of Education, only 45 percent of student loans are used to attend public colleges and universities, presumably because tuition at those schools is already lower than in the private sector. The department also reports that 40 percent of loans are taken out to attend graduate or professional school — for example, master’s and Ph.D. programs, law school, business school and medical school. This number is large because graduate school is expensive and, in contrast with loans for undergraduates, there is no hard cap on how much money students can borrow from the federal government for graduate school. People can borrow the full cost of tuition, books, supplies and living expenses to attend any accredited graduate or professional program. This is why hundreds of graduate programs produce average loan balances of $100,000 or more. Combine the two statistics, and it’s clear that the majority of all student loans are taken out to attend private colleges or graduate school. This means that the day after Senator Sanders “hits the reset button,” as he put it in the news conference, the national student debt odometer would begin rapidly spinning again."

    Bernie is causing a lot of buzz with his latest proposal to eliminate all student debt... I highly recommend this article to show this is just a temporary band aid. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/25/upshot/student-loan-debt-forgiveness.html

    Maybe they'll trade Moya for international bonus money and another branch will grow on the tree!

    Can we still say the Twins won the JR Murphy trade??? Asking for a friend.

    It's not your fault! I appreciate you taking the effort to do that for multiple teams. It's on me for being too lazy to look for myself

    I am confident he'll rank higher than Graterol this winter by most publications. He's tightened up his delivery since last year. His curve ball and wind up reminds me of Josh Beckett back in the day.
  8. Vanimal46
    Yikes... My fault for bringing up $25 million. I was going off RB's post on page 1 saying his contract was 2/34. Now that I looked at his contract that's a firm Hell no for me.

    Since I posted this, Cleveland have a record 10-3, and the Twins have gone 7-6. Cleveland's easy schedule continues... They play 5 games against teams over .500 until the trade deadline. Minnesota plays 19 (!!) games against teams over .500 in that same stretch. This is concerning...

    The Fernando Rodney Experience lives on! He's taking his talents to Washington DC. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/06/nationals-to-select-fernando-rodney-on-tuesday.html

    Sorry Craig! Back to our regularly scheduled programming... Let's say you're trying to rob an ATM. You have a blow torch... Pretty nice piece of equipment to cut through it and find a nice pay day right? Not for these 2 criminals, who ended up welding the door shut... https://miami.cbslocal.com/2019/06/04/florida-thief-blowtorch-atm/

    It's only going to get worse if there aren't consequences for reporting blatantly false information. Sadly a vast majority of people will browse that headline on social media and instantly believe it...
  13. Vanimal46
    Taking on ~$25 million in salary seems like a steep price to pay for giving up slightly less good prospects. Especially if Longoria is only viewed as a bench bat veteran presence.
  14. Vanimal46
    Nah... Why can't the Twins afford the prospect price of rental players like Bumgarner and Smith?
  15. Vanimal46
    I think the Mets are going to get rid of the manager first and see if that provides a spark. I stumbled upon this on Twitter... It's a circus in Mets land. https://twitter.com/DeeshaThosar/status/1142915572222611456?s=19

    Cron is arbitration eligible again for 2020. If he keeps up this production it should be a no brainer to tender him.
  17. Vanimal46
    I could see a scenario where Schoop is not viewed as a starting 2B for the playoffs... Just like last year when he was pushed to the bench in Milwaukee. It's risky because they're trading away depth who's capable of playing MLB baseball.
  18. Vanimal46
    Potential sellers that could come out of the woodwork in the next 2-3 weeks: 1 or 2 of San Diego, Colorado, Arizona. Being stuck in .500 land is tough as we all know. Pittsburgh Pirates Washington Nationals
  19. Vanimal46
    Mad is certainly not the correct term... If they were mad about having success they shouldn't be running a baseball team. This is what "financial flexibility" looks like in real life. 5-6 players on the 25 man with expiring contracts and the freedom to move on as needed. I don't think the plan was to trade Schoop by the trade deadline. He is simply a one year stop gap while they wait for Gordon/Arraez/any other MI prospect to show they're ready for MLB action.

    Those jerseys are hideous!
  21. Vanimal46
    They do... But that someone doesn't have to be in the organization right now. I would trust almost all of the trade candidates highlighted on this website over the last few weeks instead of Duffey, Magill, Morin, etc.
  22. Vanimal46
    No. If the Twins can't contend with the big boys this year? Fold up shop. There won't come a time when they can.
  23. Vanimal46
    He's got a ton of wiggle room to strike out and still maintain an OPS in the 800s! Though I never asked other fans when it's okay to comment about a player's faults... Is it once their OPS dips below 775?
  24. Vanimal46
    https://twitter.com/AaronGleeman/status/1142468906977615872?s=19 I'd like someone a little more, established, in that #2 spot.
  25. Vanimal46
    If I've learned anything this year, OPS is literally the only thing that matters... His OPS is 1.002! Nothing to see here... Honestly, I'm disappointed he's not striking out more.
